Some of them are already taller than our fence. But others are smaller and then others we had to replant because some died, so we have all sizes!

A lot of places that sell things like gravel and sand and bigger building stuff usually will have this. We bought ours in Quinta do Conde, just south of Lisbon.

Thank you for noticing!

honestly the woodchips are a hard thing to find here unless you buy in a big bulk as a company, and also can be very expensive. These are too big, but it's the best we can find. we have a little woodchipper, but with the amount of things we have here to chop it barely covers any area.

@@umacasaverde1956 I see...how u can solve the problem...the best way to decompost the wood chips is to make a pile and keep them wet...this is best done when the raining seasson starts because the chips will be wet all the time..just turne them time to time. after the season ends just put them in the wood chipper to break them up and voila u have a better quality mulch

thanks for suggestion, but we don't have any grass here!

Thank you!

we have stayed in Peniche as well, I believe there was a place for campers to stay! Portugal is great for RV travel!

Thank you! She is already 6 month old and I'm only now remembering that I have this channel, it's been a busy 6 months!

That's a good idea!

@@umacasaverde1956 I have since learnt to first place the worktop onto the cabinets upside down and then internally scribe/draw lines at the top of the cabinet walls (left and right). This ensures that you mark your sink placement correctly. Measure your sink and subtract from depth - this will be how much space you will have front and back.- Using T'square/speed square, place your sink allowing for this. My sink is 52cm by 59.5cm and my worktop depth is 63cm. With Ikea, their cabinets have vent rails both front and back; I allowed 5.5cm for this. The sink sits just inside of the vent at the front. Next, line up the sink BOWL between the two cabinet lines (worktop should be upside down) and allow the lip of the sink to go at least 12mm - 20mm over the scribed lines (depending upon the sink lip size) - actual bowl must be between the two cabinet lines. Draw around your sink lip ensuring that it is at least 12mm from the cabinet lines that you originally scribed. Next Next, draw another line at least *1.2 - 2cm (*measure the lip of the sink to gauge depth of cut) inside of your drawn lip line. that is where you cut. I use duck tape or general masking tape on both sides of the worksurface.

She really makes sure she is involved with everything! haha

Yeah, Fabios parents also have a garden, so I kind of follow their calendar of planting and also what I see others doing here, like neighbors. I can look up a planting calendar yes, but I it's still quite a tricky thing here, because so many things can be grown at different times! I really should try infused olive oil, we have a few liters of oil from Fabios parents Olives as well, so thats a cool idea!

Yes, it's a bungalow. I love it as well, no stairs to climb!

Yes, I realised that it works very well inside the wardrobe and I also don't even have than many products anyway.

Olá obrigado

Thanks for all the lovely tips! We have added manure and compost and also mulch around the trees, but it's still not enough. Our neighbors also had a rough summer, but they don't have any young trees. The hedge along the fence is doing ok, just still missing some plants in one end, waiting for autumn to plant those!

They do grow here quite well, especially in our area we have a lot of people around us that have big , healthy , producing trees. But yes our soil is not good enough, need something extra!

They do grow big, my friend has a huge avocado tree with hundreds of fruits in Santarem, I've been trying to grow mine in Azeitão but it's been a pain, I have faith though!

We do need some shade, was just hoping that other trees would grow bigger to provide that shade

You can grow some really delicious things here, just need to learn all the tips and tricks!

It's actually what I want to try to do for next year, especially for things like blueberries and other berries, as they need more acidic soil and then we can try also putting the pot in a tray of water during summer so that it always stays moist. Definitely want to try this!

@@umacasaverde1956 Great! I'd love to see how you get on with it if you do try. It would be good to compare the two ways

Thank You!

She is definitely bringing us so much joy!

haha, thanks, but there definitely will be workouts needed!

I do like it, but Im going to be honest I don't use it as much as I thought I would! Need to find more recipes to use it with!

não sabia, vou experimentar proxima vez, obrigada!

I will have to try that next time, but I always thought that leaving it to harden will be even harder to get it off! Olive is only chilled while sleeping haha

Glad to hear it resonates with others!

Muito obrigada!

I have one motorhome trip video coming soon! haha I am not the best cook, but I do cook mostly everything at home and will start baking again when the weather cools down!

Thank You! I recently found your channel and enjoyed watching your videos! I have one canning video coming next!

Thank You! I guess you had the feeling I have new videos coming up! :)

Obrigada!

Thank you!

Thank you so much! Yes the drought has been pretty bad this year, here and even in the UK and I have learned a lot during this time!

Obrigada!

Thanks!

There was nothing else left to do, but laugh!

Ive never heard of this, will try next year!
